VfB Stuttgart vs Freiburg Prediction

VfB Stuttgart Form

VfB Stuttgart are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out TSG Balingen by 0-4, before beating Bochum by 5-0. The winning streak came to an end against RB Leipzig, who ran out 5-1 winners. VfB Stuttgart claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Bundesliga. They also drew three and lost one, scored 12 goals and conceded seven.

A mid-table finish looks like the optimal outcome for VfB Stuttgart in a season where they aim to keep the relegation line at bay in the Bundesliga.

Freiburg Form

In their last three matches, Freiburg first beat SV Oberachern 0-2, then Hoffenheim by 1-2 and finally Werder Bremen by 1-0. Freiburg won three of a possible six away matches in the Bundesliga, as well as playing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored nine while also conceding nine times.

A top half finish is the bare minimum Freiburg will expect from this season. The visitors are targeting a spot in an international tournament and know a good start will leave them in a good stead.

The crowd usually get a very entertaining encounter, when VfB Stuttgart face Freiburg, and we see no reason for this to end this coming Saturday. The value bet lies with goals.
